Minor in Philosophy

The philosophy minor at Berklee offers students an opportunity to explore major philosophical schools of thought, including idealism, realism, pragmatism, existentialism, Buddhism, and Taoism.

The philosophy minor has at its foundation the belief that philosophical discourse is an essential component of the educational experience. Studying philosophy enables students to develop into individuals who possess a love of wisdom and who understand and interpret the human condition.
